border strikes of turkey pfizer's syria again in response to a mortar attack the turkish prime minister says anchor all will go to war if provoked. the return of the republic crowd to rally for the nation the independence of frustrated with grown scots and calling for volunteers state to make its comeback. and hundreds demands an end to u.s. drone attacks in pakistan with a two day marjah right into the heart of the strike so.

they're watching largely live from moscow with me to bomb what say turkey has launched a fresh air tillery strike on syria in response to another mortar attack from across the border ankara began its shelling on wednesday in retaliation for syrian war to a bomb that killed five civilians a middle east correspondent policia has the details. we do know that the mortar bomb landed in the countryside in turkish that territory so it is possible that no one in fact was injured or killed we also have no word on who was responsible for this later mortar from syria what i can tell you though is that almost immediately turkey responded and went on the offensive meaning that we had the situation along the turkish syrian border intensifying its started back on wednesday when a mortar bomb fired from syria killed five turkish citizens and since in the situation has nearly escalated we're hearing from the turkish prime minister that he does not want a situation of war but he has warned the syrians not to make

a fatal mistake and that is a quote from him and taste his resolve the syrians will decide have apologized for this what is interesting is that you need to realize that these waters that are being fired from syria into turkey all close range missiles now they are coming from terra true that is controlled by the syrian rebels so this is why many are suggesting that perhaps they are being fired on purpose they're being fired to provoke the situation and create a false flag operation now the reasoning behind this could be that turkey for some time has been calling for a no fly zone it might be provoked into calling for foreign intervention and for nato to get involved in fact we've heard some rebel leaders in exile call for this although the majority of excels in the majority of syrians are against this but the situation intensifying on the ground and everyone concerned that we could see this border tension into some kind of regional conflict the battle certainly is

intensifying the latest there's a video that has now been released by the syrian rebels we have no confirmation as to the or patient of the video but in it it does claim that the rebels will start executing forty eight muslims from iran if damascus does not meet the demands of the syrian rebels now there has been dialogue and some kind of negotiations. wow between the syrian government and the reigning government at the same time just outside damascus the rebels have shot down a syrian helicopter gunship this comes as shelling continues between both sides in several cities around the country russia has come to the fore in the media a tree role it has said that it hopes the united nations arab envoy to syria will be coming to moscow perhaps later this month and they too they hope that both sides will experts caution moscow also saying that these cross border incidents are

completely unacceptable. after turkey's parliament authorize troops to launch cross border operations against syria the country's prime minister warned that ankara will not shy from war if provoked author and journalist option read tons of believes a damascus will retaliate if pulled into a broader conflict this kind of flashpoint is the kind of flashpoint that can create world war three. as some people have it this is a false flag operation we're getting these reports of this continued as it were a reaction from judge government ok so one will paste political problems at home but then why were they speaking with the iranians talking about how this needs a diplomatic solution not a military one if turkey continues under the agreement. this will draw in a way to situation a wider fears here of war and risks expanding it to the people of syria and the people of turkey will not benefit from this nature says that they'll defend any nato member if turkey continue like this syria might see itself getting

increasingly desperate and that retaliate with full force then it's up to the united states and britain european and nato allies just figure out what to do what we need urgently right now is a peace conference certainly it's up to china and russia because they're the only people stopping a full scale war the kind of war that will only help but forces it looks like such as al qaida united states is again supporting al-qaeda and turkey mr everyone should know much better than to try and help out guy and he's been doing his best to fight the forces of his presence. the republic of venice is planning for glorious comeback supporters of uneasy and independence from into the all demanding the region going as it alone tired of being settled with rome's austerity it's the latest in a number of european regions to consider independence including scotland and got

handed it to them the people of afghanistan want the united states out and it's a natural you know thing for that to occur and the united states just doesn't see that one of the goals of the us imperial project is to where they can't completely dominate a place leave the people at each other's throats while they carry off the resources and so there's agitation for that that's put into play as the united states enters these countries what will happen in two thousand and fourteen is the afghanis will have an opportunity to settle their own national issues themselves without an occupying army directing the effort. more world news for you now the pope's former butler has been handed an eighteen month sentence after he stole and then sold on to a journalist the pontiff's private letters realit said he would not appeal the verdict he said to serve his sentence under house arrest however papal spokesman said better dig sixteenth will most likely pardon his former aide the high profile was
